A blow by blow account of rebuilding my 1961 Velocette Venom and my struggles with the world of motorbikes in general.

Catching up

Well I did say I miss out on posting regularly!

It's been what?  Over a year since I posted "gunge and schrapnell" and the Suzuki's still running.  It's still noisy as well.  The tips of the valve stems are pitted making the setting up of the tappets approximate at best.  What can I say?  It needs a re-build really but it does run well, so all in good time...

But, but, but the biggie is that I've finally got it together and the Velo's chassis arrives tomorrow morning!!
 
Two tanks and bits...
Cadavre - erm, chassis I mean.
